In Person Counselling in Hessle

Hello, I’m Debbie, a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Acc. Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I prefer to work with clients face to face but I do work online too. Having worked in mental health services for almost 20 years, I developed significant experience and a genuine passion in helping people with mental health difficulties. In particular, adults and young people struggling with eating disorders or eating difficulties, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. I am, however, open to working with any difficulty in life you may be facing. I mainly work with adults but will work with young people 16+.

I believe that sharing with others in a safe, confidential environment can help if you feel that something in your life is not quite right but are unable to find the cause. It may be that you know the source of your anxieties and low mood but have never felt able to talk about it or share it with another who will listen without judgement and empathise with you.

We all feel challenged and overwhelmed at times. Whatever the greatest challenge is in your life right now, I aim to give you simple, straightforward strategies that could help you to live a happier life starting straight away. The thought of talking to a stranger might be daunting for some people, and that's perfectly normal. I can promise you a safe, non-judgemental and totally confidential environment where your thoughts and concerns are the most important thing and where you can talk openly about whatever is bothering you. You will be treated with the upmost respect - your happiness and wellbeing is important to me.

Often, I hear the phrase “others have it far worse than me…” and where there may be a truth in that phrase, I believe YOU are just as important. This is the ethos of my practice. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to talk, be heard, your personal experience validated and for positive change to occur. I have also experienced personal therapy so understand how daunting the first step can be; at first I found it scary, challenging but always supportive and it gave me a greater self-belief and deeper understanding of myself that I continue using today.

Hello, I'm Paul and I understand how embarking on therapy can be really challenging which is something I understand from my own therapy journey. I a qualified integrative therapist & offer a free 20 minute consultation as I believe it's really important working with the right therapist. Feeling stuck? Unfulfilled? Lonely? Overly Self Critical? Low Self Esteem? In Destructive Relational Patterns? Or want to make positive changes in your life? Whilst reaching out for support can be a real challenge, it takes real strength & courage to share vulnerable aspects of our self, and in turn that's where we can grow & develop as individuals.

I work with people who are facing difficult life issues, some feel depressed and/or anxious, and unsure how to get out of the life position they find themselves in. Others experience problems managing difficult emotions caused by grief or loss and find themselves in a maze of emotions that feel impossible to navigate. Some experience relational problems; families, partners, work colleagues and other relationships can sometimes be at the centre of hard to mange emotions. I tailor therapy to your needs, we can set goals, explore how we and others function in relationships, or use techniques; I leave these choices to you.

Choosing the right therapist can be quite the journey, can't it? Your therapy journey is deeply personal, so it's important to feel comfortable and confident in your choice. Wherever you are are and wherever you have come from, you are welcome here. Reach out to schedule a consultation to see if we're a good fit -you can ask questions, share concerns, and get a sense of our potential collaboration and see if we can create a path to your authentic self, together.

The decision to have counselling is a really brave one, and it might be difficult to know if it’s the right time for you. You can have counselling for all sorts of reasons, and there’s no such thing as a right or wrong one. You might be feeling overwhelmed or anxious; perhaps you’ve experienced a bereavement or a relationship breakdown, or you might not know what the reason is, and that is okay. Sometimes therapy is difficult, and it can bring up things that are hard to face, but you don’t have to do so alone.

Life can leave us feeling "wounded". At times life can feel confusing, difficult, painful, miserable, and so much more. In those moments we need to talk because holding it all in can be even more agonising. It may be that you are unsure of what it is you would like to explore, or you are aware that something does not feel right, or you don't know who you are anymore. Talking about the things that are affecting your life can transform YOU, because talking aims to help you deal with and overcome things that are causing you emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable. Talking can offer you a safe space to explore yourself.

Many of us experience times when we are struggling with our emotions or mental health. However sometimes this can go on for too long and it can have a big impact upon our quality of life. We might notice repeating patterns or cycles that feel hard to make sense of or change.
